[opensuse] weird: WLAN *sometimes* doesn't connect
Hello, still tinkering with my WLAN on OpenSuse 10.3. Usually it works as it should. But sometimes (once in 5 times?) it just doesn't connect. I see my WLAN but I cannot connect. I attach the respective NetworkManager log. As you can see - after boot, login, enter my KWallet pwd, it should connect automatically - it does most of the time, but this time not - window appears asking me the passphrase, I just click "connect", no success - try again, no success - I wait a bit then right click the KNetworkManager icon and click on my WLAN, again no success - I stopped KNetworkManager and also killed NetworkManager and NetworkManagerD (what didn't seem to be a good idea) - startet KNetworkManager from the menu, the icon appears, but it sais "KNetworkManager not running" - logget out and in again, no change - So I rebooted to undo my wrong kill... - again the first attempt to connect fails - again I cklick "connect" in the apperaing window - and voila: it works. Weird, isn't it? Can you see from the attached log where the problem lies? thanks for your hints.

Got the same behaviour here. The Problem is, in my case, the hidden Network. If i turn this feature off at the router, then the (k)networkmanager connects at the first try. I know that this is not a solution, but probably it helbs finding out one ...

my Network is not hidden... So, there must be another reason. But which?

The problem is well known to me. Networkmanager failed to connect to my own wlan many a time with symptoms just like yours. Possible solutions: Kick NetworkManager and use the 'traditional method' (in yast) to connect to your wlan - connects almost ever for me, but lacks flexibility or switch to kubuntu. (K)NetworkManager works a lot better there. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

That's a possibility, but on the other hand, as KNetworkManagaer is here, it should work correctly, shouldn't it?
or switch to kubuntu. (K)NetworkManager works a lot better there.
Oh, but I am so in love with my openSuse, it would kill my heart :-) To be serious: if it works better in kubuntu, what might be the reason? Should I file a bug report for openSuse then? Any "screws" I could drive to make it work better here?
